Cuddles AI

Read full description

Cuddles AI is the parent app for Joy, the Cuddles AI plush toy. See what your child and Joy talked about, set Joy's personality and voice, and get a weekly report on how your child is growing. ■ What your child gets • A friend who remembers — their name, favorites and past chats. Next time, Joy opens with "Did you walk Kong again?" • Choose which of English and Korean Joy speaks and which your child learns; how much is mixed in adjusts weekly to your child's responses. • 8 word games (word chain, English words, what happened first, why do you think, name three, and more) and story making. Offered only when a topic winds down, dropped the moment your child says no. • On birthdays Joy says happy birthday first and chats about the big day. • For "What's the biggest dinosaur?", Joy looks it up only in pre-approved children's sources like Britannica Kids and NASA, answers in two sentences, and never makes things up. ■ In the parent app • Full conversation history, with deletion by item, period or all. • Weekly report — every Sunday evening, what your child talked about and how they grew, in plain sentences. Game results, speech metrics, new things your child said, how often they laughed. Past reports and sharing are part of the subscription. • Safety alerts — if your child says something worrying, Joy encourages them to tell a trusted grown-up and you are notified right away. Recurring signals are collected on the safety screen. • Remaining talk time, scheduled reminders (weekday and time), Joy's personality, voice and language settings, and a games guide. ■ Plans • Free: talk time 5 minutes a day and 25 a week per doll, 4 word games, 2 voices, weekly report at a glance, safety alerts, conversation history. • Cuddles+: 20 minutes a day and 80 a week per account, story making 3 a week, auto-adjusted game levels, 4 voices, the full weekly report with past reports and sharing. • Need more time? Extra minutes (30 min) can be purchased on our website; the app shows your balance. ■ Good to know • Joy is an AI plush. It says so when asked, parents can see every conversation, and Joy never diagnoses. • Requires a Cuddles Joy plush and Wi-Fi. The plush is sold at cuddles-anc.com. • This is the parent app for a toy intended for children ages 3 and up.
